Book excerpt: "This is the classic study of the history and continuing philosophical values of the law of nature. D'Entreves discerned three distinct sources that have contributed to the development of natural law: Roman law teachings, Christian beliefs regarding law, and egalitarian and revolutionary theories of the Enlightenment. Now regarded as a classic work, Natural Law has exercised considerable influence over the course of Anglo-American legal theory in the past forty years. The statements of Clarence Thomas during his 1991 Senate confirmation hearings show that the law of nature still holds powerful appeal in defining judicial rules.In the new introduction, Cary J. Nederman points out both the contemporary value and the historical significance of Natural Law. He also provides the biographical as well as intellectual context for d'Entreves immense accomplishments. This volume is essential reading for students of legal history, political theory, and philosophy. It will also be of interest to historians.Few texts provide as concise or as cogent an introduction to natural theory as Alexander Passerin d'Entreves' Natural Law: An Introduction to Legal Philosophy.... Transaction Publishers has performed a genuine service by bringing out a new edition of Natural Law. D'Entreves' analysis is clear and penetrating, and will guide the student of natural law to further, fruitful study.—Mitchell Muncy, The University Bookman"--Google Books viewed May 18, 2021.

Download or read book The Nature and Value of Vagueness in the Law written by Hrafn Asgeirsson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-04-10 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lawmaking is – paradigmatically – a type of speech act: people make law by saying things. It is natural to think, therefore, that the content of the law is determined by what lawmakers communicate. However, what they communicate is sometimes vague and, even when it is clear, the content itself is sometimes vague. This monograph examines the nature and consequences of these two linguistic sources of indeterminacy in the law. The aim is to give plausible answers to three related questions: In virtue of what is the law vague? What might be good about vague law? How should courts resolve cases of vagueness? It argues that vagueness in the law is sometimes a good thing, although its value should not be overestimated. It also proposes a strategy for resolving borderline cases, arguing that textualism and intentionalism – two leading theories of legal interpretation – often complement rather than compete with each other.

Download or read book The Legacy of John Austin's Jurisprudence written by Michael Freeman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-09-14 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first ever collected volume on John Austin, whose role in the founding of analytical jurisprudence is unquestionable. After 150 years, time has come to assess his legacy. The book fills a void in existing literature, by letting top scholars with diverse outlooks flesh out and discuss Austin’s legacy today. A nuanced, vibrant, and richly diverse picture of both his legal and ethical theories emerges, making a case for a renewal of interest in his work. The book applies multiple perspectives, reflecting Austin’s various interests – stretching from moral theory to theory of law and state, from Roman Law to Constitutional Law – and it offers a comparative outlook on Austin and his legacy in the light of the contemporary debate and major movements within legal theory. It sheds new light on some central issues of practical reasoning: the relation between law and morals, the nature of legal systems, the function of effectiveness, the value-free character of legal theory, the connection between normative and factual inquiries in the law, the role of power, the character of obedience and the notion of duty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nature of Positive Law It has now in several ways become evident that the idea of Law upon which Austin founded his system of Jurisprudence cannot be accepted as final, but must be treated as only a first approximation, valuable indeed, but defective, and therefore requiring to be supplemented by further enquiry. I was myself led to this opinion by discovering that the Austinian analysis threw so little light upon the real nature of legal Rights as to be of comparatively small value in investigating their substance as opposed to their mere enforcement. This view was pressed upon me again and again as I examined the various Rights of property, and I believe the current system breaks down entirely when we attempt to explain by it the Roman theory of Possession. Being thus led to distrust the results which I had long accepted as final, I found that there were two ways of attempting to correct them - the historical and the analytical.
